Thank you to everyone who has taken part in the Surrey Hills Boundary Review process so far! We’re delighted that Natural England has now proposed even more land to be included in the Surrey Hills National Landscape, which could increase its size by 30%. This exciting new proposal is a major step forward in creating a bigger, better-connected Surrey Hills, and now Natural England needs your feedback on these additional areas.
Allison Potts, Nature England Area Deputy Director said:
“If the proposed areas are added to the Surrey Hills National Landscape, this could bring many benefits including conserving and enhancing the natural and cultural heritage, as well as the views and beauty of the area. It will give improved access to nature for the benefit of people’s health and wellbeing whilst boosting economic growth and local tourism and safeguard a nationally important landscape for future generations. All on the doorstep of London.”
Natural England are also running some information sessions across September and October, which are in the link below.
